1 God of mercy, God of grace!
Show the brightness of Thy face;
Shine upon us, Saviour! shine;
Fill Thy church with light divine;
And Thy saving health extend
To the earth's remotest end.
2 Let the people praise Thee, Lord!
Be by all that live adored:
Let the nations shout and sing,
Glory to their Saviour King;
At Thy feet their tribute pay,
And Thy holy will obey.
3 Let the people praise Thee, Lord!
Earth shall then her fruits afford;
God to man His blessings give;
Man to God devoted live;
All below, and all above,
One in joy, and light, and love.
